The interaction between predator and prey is an evolutionary arms race, for which early
detection by either party is often the key to success. In aquatic ecosystems, olfaction is an …

An individual's behaviour patterns can be conceptualized as a series of threat‐sensitive
trade‐offs between ambient predation pressure and a suite of fitness‐related activities, such …

Inducible defences are widely used for studying phenotypic plasticity, yet frequently we
know little about the cues that induce these defences. For aquatic prey, defences are …

While some prey species possess an innate recognition of their predators, others require
learning to recognize their predators. The specific characteristics of the predators that prey …

The ability to recognize a potential predator and display adaptive antipredator behaviour is
crucial to the survival of prey animals. Prey should gain a fitness advantage by displaying …

Most species of fish rely on pheromones (chemical signals released by conspecifics) to
mediate social behaviours. Three categories of pheromones can be discerned based on …

L'hypothèse selon laquelle les animaux qui servent de proies évaluent les degrés dans la
menace de prédation et y réagissent avec flexibilité s' appelle l'hypothèse de l'évitement des …

Many species assess predation risk through chemical cues, but the tissue source, chemical
nature, and mechanisms of production or action of these cues are often unknown …

Many fishes possess specialized epidermal cells that are ruptured by the teeth of predators,
thus reliably indicating the presence of an actively foraging predator. Understanding the …

In aquatic systems, chemical cues are a major source of information through which animals
are able to assess the current state of their environment to gain information about local …
